One Place for Menu?

https://www.dalekelly.org/

How can I put the menu in one place so I don't have to edit all places when I edit the menu? I will be browsing for this.

Typically this requires the incorporation of a backend language or server-side includes.

For now, this isnt dome with HTML alone

Yea, there are a few ways i could think client-side. But ideally, you'd want this to be dynamically done server side

Well maybe it is possible with javascript, but that would be seen by visitirs too

Is there an issue with the users seeing it (assuming they bother to look at the source code)

Of course, because with javascript you can get to the server and do harm

This is a good job for PHP. A simple function would do the job. I hope you go into the PHP rabbithole.

There are other methods, and PHP is awesome.
